If you've ever watched an episode of The Bachelor, then you've probably gotten curious about each of the women competing for the Bachelor's heart. Fortunately if you want to get to know the ladies of the new season a little better, you can find Nick Viall's Bachelor contestants on Instagram. Looking through their profiles will give you the chance to get to know more about the women and what they're doing when they're not pursuing love on reality TV.

What you'll find there might not surprise you, as, after all, what you present on Instagram can be just as carefully curated as the narratives on The Bachelor. For example, look at how Nick uses his Instagram — he's gone from posting morose single guy posts about looking for "the one" to posting confident pictures where he's smiling and looking great. The story told by Nick's Insta is of a guy who's finally ready to be the one who gets the happy ending, no longer resigned to second place. Here's what you'll learn about the women who are competing for his heart, if you check out their Instas, too.
